IMPROVED SCREEN-ATTAHMENT FOR WINDOWS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

' insects, the arrangement being suc-h that the frame of the screen is continuous with the 'window-trame above and below, and, when not in use, the screenpa-sses into af box-head Or sill, as the case may be, so as to be entirely out of sight.

Our invention further consists in attaching to the meeting rails a guard, so that, when the window is opened, the space between the glass of one sash and the rail of the other shall 'not admit insects.

Referring to the accompanying drawings'for a more complete description Oi' our invention- Figure l is a front elevation of a window with the screens attached. A

Figure 2 a transverse section of the same.

Figure 3 a cross-section of the junction ot' the upper and lower sashes.

' Figure 4 a cross-sectiouoi' the bottom of the lower sash and the sill.

ais the, upper' and b the lower sash.

The upper one is extended up s0 as to forma frame, c, which holds the screen A.

The lOwer sash may also be extended downward, in a similar manner, so as to hold thelower screen B, or they may be made separate, but so as tO follow in the s''me groove, and the screen-frame may then be attached to the sash by a metallic strap, E, so as tO be used oruot, at pleasure. s

. The upper frame Works into a ybox-head formed above the window, in which it is entirely concealed from view when not in use.

The lower frame works into a boit-sill, in a. similary manner.

In order to keep out the wet, astrip of wood Or metal, D, is screwed to the sill, and extends up into Ia groove in the bot-toni rail of the lower sash.

A guard or strip of elastic substance, O, is fastened to the meeting-rail of the lower sash, and reaches to the glass of the upper sash, thus preventing any entrance of insects when the window is Opened.

What we claim'as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, s

The combination, with a double-sash window, of the top screen A,lower detachable screen B, and middle`guard-strip O, constructed and arranged as herein descrbed.-

In witness whereof' we have hereunto set ourhands and seals.
